    Quick update.

    Things now progressing well, turbo, dump and oil lines are in, internal wastegate actuator has been upgraded to a turbosmart IWG75.
    I decided that the intercooler just wasn't going to cut the mustard so i ordered one that'll fit better, also decided on front mount.
    Better to cut into my grill than my bonnet, plus it'll be more efficient.

    Also dropped my fuel rail into Dandy engines to get machined, hopefully get a call today to say it's ready.

    Pics!

    New intercooler, fits like a glove... that cools charged air...

    New turbo lines

    This weekend I'll be finishing off fitting the water lines, priming the oil feed, mounting the intercooler, making up an interconnecting pipe to go from dump to exhaust and hopefully starting the car to make sure the turbo spins freely and the oil feed works.

    Next I'll be plumbing in the intercooler, replacing old injectors with the Bosch 968's I bought and the rail with the freshly machined one. Then finish plumbing everything, test for leaks and she's off to the tuner!
